diffs

[road dude]

hi, my tyres (235x15's) are so big that it will make my jeep too high geared. this means i need a lower diff. does anyone know which one i should look for?

Hi Dude
If your Geep is set up like quite a few you probably have a 3.54:1 diff.
To lower the gearing you require a 3.89:1 or 4.125:1
There are 4.44:1 diffs out there somewhere, these were fitted to the 1300 HC cars and 1100 vans.
One helpful chap you could ring is Ian Harwood whose number is 0151 3392801
He strips old Escorts and sells the parts.

Best of luck

Check out the technical part of this forum and the Technical web site (which if it works correctly you should be able to access from the bit I have put on the technical part of this forum.
I have recently updated the F.A.Q. page on the technical site regards diffs.
